Description
Leonista Reposado Agave Spirit
Leonista, meaning ‘Place of the Lion’ has pride of place in the Gin Fling family. Taking their inspiration from Mexico, they are the first 100% Agave spirits from the Karoo region of South Africa. The range of delicious drinks are handcrafted in South Africa, using certified, organically grown ingredients which are sustainably harvested and made in the traditional Mexican way from an age-old recipe.It’s similar to how Mezcal is made, but only those actually made in Mexico can be called Mezcal (that goes for Tequila too).
The unique and smoky flavour of Leonista comes from harnessing the fire and smoke in the baking / roasting process and from the complex natural yeasts which are released during the crushing and fermentation stages. Full of character and flavour, with wooden undertones, the final spirit is rested for a slightly sweeter taste.
Reposado (meaning aged in or rested in Spanish) is the most senior member of the Leonista Pride. It is rested in American oak barrels (which once housed brandy) between 3 and 6 months, which gives a smooth finish with a sweeter taste and a hint of smoke to finish.
